This year's iPhone 14 series models are making some scalpers lose money.
On September 16, three iPhone 14 series models were officially launched. Because many consumers want to get the first batch of models, the supply of iPhone 14 is in short supply, forming a seller's market. As before, "scalpers" are holding in front of the door, becoming a scenic spot.
However, the situation of crazy grabbing on the first day did not last long. The iPhone 14 market returned to calm, and even broke the issue. It is reported that the 14 series currently breaks the issue price range from 100-1,000 yuan, and the scalper whose price increase was not yet shipped at that time was directly facing losses.
htmlOn September 17, the reporter was waiting in front of the West Lake Apple Store in Hangzhou. A scalper complained to the reporter that the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which he raised an increase of 1,800 yuan yesterday, was sold today only with an increase of 600 yuan.Another scalper led the reporter to a corner. He called himself Brother Sun, "I lost 100 yuan to pay for iPhone 14." "I'm not selling well now. In the past few years, a mobile phone made five or six thousand yuan. Now if you dare to stay overnight, you will be waiting to lose money."
On the Internet, there are also videos and photos of dealers selling iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max along the street. Everyone said bluntly that it would be good to sell it at the original price now.
In response to this, some netizens said that scalpers became "panicked", which made people happy. Some netizens said: "I deserve it. Scalpers were originally disrupting the market price order. Now they have been taught a lesson by the market. It is reasonable. Where is there anything in the world that only makes money but not lose money?"
A netizen shared his experience and said that the price was 1,600 on the morning of the first release, and the price was 100 on the afternoon of the next day, and then bought it again. He made a net profit of 3K in 36 hours. Thank you Scalpers... It's really too skinny.
Screenshots posted by a dealer show that he spent 760,000 yuan to purchase the iPhone 14 series, and the final sales were more than 750,000 yuan. On September 16, he actually lost tens of thousands of yuan a day.
In addition, according to the changes in the recycling price of the 256G memory iPhone 14 Pro in a stall in Hunan, the premium is about 900 yuan at 11:00 on the 16th, and the premium is 700 yuan after 18 minutes. Two hours later, the premium is only 300 yuan. At 15:39, the stall attempted to acquire 5 purple 256G memory iPhone 14 Pro, with a premium of only 400 yuan.
Some industry insiders said that today, I thought that stocking up Apple phones would make a fortune, and the scalper’s thinking was undoubtedly still 5 to 6 years ago.
In the past, 30% of the production capacity of iPhone 13 Pro was acquired by Luxshare Precision, and Foxconn was responsible for the other 60%. Judging from this proportion, Luxshare Precision's substitution effect on Foxconn is becoming stronger and stronger. Therefore, in the production of iPhone 14 series, the capacity between the first batch and the second batch can be connected faster, and the time difference in stock outage basically does not exist.
This means that Apple's production capacity optimization and the strengthening of big data analysis capabilities have greatly compressed the time difference and space for scalpers to earn the price difference, and the time left for scalpers is also very short.
IDC analyst Guo Tianxiang said: "This time, Huawei Mate 50 series is very popular and the reservations are also very popular. Huawei's brand is still very strong in the high-end market, and many high-end users are also more recognized, especially the previous second-generation Mate users have almost reached the replacement cycle, so it will definitely have a certain impact on Apple's advantageous position in the high-end market.
